A New Chapter in Florida Politics
In a significant political development, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has announced that Attorney General Ashley Moody will replace Marco Rubio in the U.S. Senate. This appointment comes as Rubio prepares to take on the role of Secretary of State in President-elect Donald Trump’s administration. The move marks a new chapter in Florida’s political landscape and promises to bring a fresh perspective to Washington.
DeSantis, in making the announcement, emphasized the critical nature of such appointments in the current political climate. The Governor praised Moody’s service as Florida’s Attorney General and her alignment with Trump’s agenda, particularly highlighting her commitment to addressing border security issues.
Ashley Moody brings a wealth of experience to her new role. Having served as Florida’s Attorney General since 2019, she also boasts a background as a commercial litigator and federal prosecutor. This diverse legal experience is expected to serve her well in the Senate, where she has pledged to advocate forcefully for Floridian interests.
“I will bring the same persistence and passion and tenacity as a United States Senator that I have brought as Florida’s Attorney General,” Moody stated.
One of Moody’s primary focuses as she enters the Senate will be to curb what she perceives as the growing influence of federal agencies. She has been critical of the Biden administration’s approach, which she believes has increased federal agency power at the expense of state actions. Moody’s stance reflects a broader conservative concern about the balance of power between state and federal governments.
“What has angered me the most as Attorney General… all that does is take the will of the people, the want of the people, through their elected representatives in Congress, and turns this into a country we don’t even recognize anymore,” Moody said.
Moody’s commitment to reining in federal overreach aligns closely with the views of many conservative voters who feel that unelected bureaucrats have gained too much influence in shaping national policy.
DeSantis might be back in the GOP’s good books.
